I was very pleasantly surprised at how delicious this place is. The chicken tikka masala was pretty tasty, but spicier than I've had at other places. The owner was very gracious and nice. I hope to see him succeed and stick around. I look forward to trying some of his drinks. read more

Holy Moly! This has got to be the very best Indian I've ever tasted. Fantastic. I wish I lived in Seattle - I'd be here all the time.

Found a long strand of hair in my food ! Threw the whole thing away ! Wish the quality of food was better they seem to have no concern about the quality of food being served! read more

This is a secret treasure in Pike Place market. The chicken tikka wrap is just one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten!!!! The meat is always tender and flavorful and the fresh vegetables just send it through the roof. I can also vouch for the consistency since I have ordered it numerous times. I have no idea even what drove me to try this in the first place because the booth is very unassuming. :-) maybe the other menu items aren't even that great haha. Just get the Chicken Tikka Wrap!! read more

Decent cheap lunch while visiting their Pike Place market booth, but the flavor wasn't quite right. I wish I could rate it 2.5 stars as my meal was somewhere between "ok" and "meh". The men at the booth were very nice and they served us up fast. They charged extra to pay by credit/debit, so remember to bring cash. I had the two vegetarian dish combo with palak paneer (paneer cheese with spinach) and vegetarian curry, and it came with a bit of shredded lettuce salad and saffron rice. Husband had the chicken tikka and chana aloo (chickpeas with potato). The crux of it is, I think they forgot to toast the spices (tarka/tadka type method), as there were lots of whole spices (bay leaf, cloves) in the food yet it wasn't amazingly flavorful like Indian food typically is. We both noticed the dishes weren't very spicy- I think they cater to tourists and have toned down the spicy-heat level too. read more

We ate lunch here today. Great little place We both had the Chicken Tikka Masala

Samosas!!! I walked upon this gem and ordered the Chicken Samosas. They were delicious and not overly heavy for something that's fried. The people who helped me out were friendly as well. read more

I had lots of great food on my trip to Seattle, but Saffron Spice was the absolute best. Chicken Masala was one of the best things I've ever digested! Great service, great people, unbelievable food! read more

I live within walking distance of Pike Place and was super-excited to discover a take away Indian place since I'm obsessed with chicken tikka masala, but unfortunately this did not live up to my expectations. The samosas were decent but definitely not the best I've had and the naan was also perfectly average, but the chicken tikka masala was laughably bland. Masala should be an explosion of flavor, but I could barely taste anything here. I didn't mind the lack of spiciness so much, but lack of basic flavor is a problem. I might stop by again for a samosa or lassi if I'm really hungry, but never again for main dishes. read more

I got the lamb wrap, expecting it to be full of slabs of meat. Instead, I was left wondering if they have messed up my order because all I got were rice and vegetables, with many tiny grain-sized chunks of lamb. read more

Saffron Spice is small, like most food stalls, and I'd been excited to try it. The menu is small but features standard Indian faire. Very polite, very clean, very fast and reasonably priced. The samosas are excellent. Unfortunately, that's where the excellence ends. The chicken tikka masala has only a hint of flavor. The vegetable curry tastes like they used boiled zucchini water as a main ingredient. The pickled vegetable salad and saffron rice are equally bland, and with one laid upon the other, only texture distinguishes them. I really wanted this place to be great, and I'll go back for the samosas again, but as for their other offerings I'm done. read more

Excellent Indian food with a wide variety of rich flavors and entrée options. I had the lamb kebabs with mint sauce (great flavors) and chicken marsala. Both hit the spot. I was a little skeptical at first but, when standing in line behind mostly men with Indian accents, I went for it believing that they knew what good Indian food should taste like. I would definitely go back and purchase their rice bowl. read more

This review is for the beef meatball wrap. It tasted fine but for $9 it was outrageous that the wrap only contained 2 meatballs. The rest was just rice. With so many food truck options in SLU, I definitely won't be coming back here. read more

Went to their food truck by Amazon, and had a delicious meal of saag paneer and chicken tikka masala with saffron rice, and complementary chai. I was the only person in line, but it was closer to 1:30 pm, so that perhaps explains it. For less than $10, the flavors and the portions were both generous. Service was excellent, great smiles. I'd go there again. read more

I had chicken tikka wrap. I felt the chicken pieces were too big for a wrap and also it was not the authentic flavor of chicken tikka. It was a mess of different veggies and the wrap didn't seem fresh as well. read more

Terrible Service. I ordered 5 Veggie Samosas. When we took a bite into them 2 of them were Beef and onion Samosas. I took it back to them and the guy and the lady start blaming each other as to who was at fault. To make it worse the guy doesn't apologize or try and replace them . Instead tried to charge me for new ones. I just returned the Beef Samosa to him and walked away. Would never go back there again. Terrible Service and horrible attitude. read more

I need to give 0 stars or negative stars. Went there 2-25-16 & the guy was taking out trash & then stopped to attempt to serve me a vegetable samosa & he stopped, didn't wash his hands & attempted to serve me my samosa with his dirty hands touching the paper dish that would touch my food. Gross!!!! I said no, then he yelled that he was going to use tongs...his bare hands still were touching the paper tray. Yikes!!! Will not go back! read more

The place in general is quite tasty - their samosas are to die for, however their customer service is ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS . They have the absolute two worst employees I have ever had experience with in any type of food setting working there. Saffron Spice should get rid of them and find new staff. While there, this is how my visit went: I asked for rice, since the remaining rice was the bottom of the barrel and it looked like they needed more. The girl (short, dark-haired girl with bun and rude expression/demeanor) said, "I am not making more rice" to me. I just stood there and she continued, "The rice is made the day before, so it is day-old rice and this rice in the container now wouldn't be any different. I would literally just be putting old rice in the microwave". I waited, and a woman in front of me got the last bit of the remaining rice, at which point I asked for more rice, again, since I figured I would now be getting new rice. The girl looked at me, made a face and began to "make" new rice. While doing so, she and the guy (tall, bearded guy with a nose piercing) were quietly talking rudely about me. While waiting, the guy did not help me once, even though I had ordered two samosas with my meal that he could have given me while waiting, to ease the wait and make a customer (myself) happier. The girl came back and said she was going to put my curry in the box while waiting for the rice (which makes no sense, since it would become more cold as it would no longer be in the hot tins). I said nothing. At the point that the girl was giving me the samosas I ordered she began to re-ring me up for two (additional) samosas that she had already charged me for. I corrected her and asked, "I think you already charged me for the samosas", she said, "No I didn't". I said, "Yeah, I think you did", she again said, "No I didn't". I said, "Yes, i think you did when you charged me earlier for the whole meal", she said, "I really don't think I did, but whatever, it's fine" (snarkily). The guy then walked over to the cash register and told her to look at the receipt, which she did, and indeed found that she did already charge me for the samosas. She did NOT apologize, and rather just said, "Oh, I guess I did charge you". When she was getting ready to put chutney on my samosas she asked me if I wanted the sauces and I said, "Yes, the two normal sauces, please". She began to put the spiciest sauce (mango chutney) on the samosas and I quickly said, "Oh no, not that sauce. I have never had that sauce, I want the normal sauce, the darker one", she said, "This is the normal sauce", and I said, "No, the tamarind (darker) one". She said, "No, this is the sauce we put on all of them. The guy came up and said, "This is the spicier sauce" and I said, "Yeah I know, and I didn't want that one, I wanted the normal, sweeter one". She said, "Well this is the normal sauce and the one we put on every time". I said, "Huh, I have been to this stand a bunch of times and have never once had that sauce put on my samosas. Only ever the tamarind one. And that is the one I wanted". She gave me another dirty look, alongside the guy's dirty look and shoved the samosas over to me (WITH THE SPICY MANGO CHUTNEY STILL ON THEM)!! This is was by far the absolute worst customer service experience I have ever had. Will not go back to this place for a while now. That girl and that guy are horrible employees and I wouldn't hire them ever. They need to get a reality check on what good (or even just mediocre) customer service is and then do it. Good food, bad people working there. Find new employees. read more

5 stars for their chicken biryani and samosa and raita..once of the best biryanis I have had in Seattle.

Review is for the food truck. I ordered the meatballs, no sauce(dairy allergy) and once made it looked to have gravy on it. Talked to them and they explained meatballs and the some of the veggies come in a gravy. They made me another wrap, for free, with lamb and left out the spinach that also had dairy. This is more than I expected since they didn't really mess up, I just didn't ask enough questions. I was very happy and the wrap was excellent. Overall, I highly recommend them. read more

I have only ever been to the food truck but this is easily one of my favorite spots in Seattle. Staff is wonderful and food is delicious, what more could you ask for? read more

Horrible customer service. Don't bother to care about their customers. The taste of the food was inconsistent. If I could leave negative 2 stars I would. read more

This place has the best samosas, including vegetable, beef, lamb! Nicest husband and wife couple owners too. Don't pass up on this stand. If you're in time, get the lunch meal. Well worth the visit! read more

went again to my fav indian take away tried goat curry and malai kofta this time the meat fell of the bone and kofta sauce was spicy and flavour. read more

Love this food truck! However the one on Westlake has inconsistent service. There is one server who consistently gets my order wrong. Luckily everything tastes delicious, but I really wanted to try today's roast eggplant and after asking twice he still messed it up. And forgot the salad too. Still, highly recommend this yummy lunch. read more

I go to the market about once a week, and always stressed about what to get there for lunch. I no longer have to fret about lunch. Fortunately, there is a new Indian restaurant that offers very tasty, filling, and affordable lunch combos. My choice of one, two or three dishes on saffron rice, with salad. Yum! read more

Review for the foodtruck by West Lake - Mutter Paneer and Chick Tikka were amazing! The Naan was great too.
